Notes: MTK 458 is a PTEN-inducible putative kinase 1 (PINK1) activator.{72449} It, in combination with the mitochondria uncoupler FCCP (Item No. 15218), increases levels of PINK1 and phosphorylated ubiquitin (pUb) in HeLa cervical cancer cells when used at a concentration of 6.6 µM. MTK 458, in combination with FCCP, induces mitophagy in HeLa cells (EC50 = 0.44 µM). It inhibits doxycycline-induced increases in the mitochondrial levels of insoluble ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) in HeLa cells when used at concentrations of 25 or 50 µM. In vivo, MTK 458 (50 mg/kg per day) decreases the midbrain levels of total α-synuclein and insoluble α-synuclein aggregates in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease induced by α-synuclein injection in the ipsilateral striatum.
